None of you would like to encounter any challenges at the last moment. Thus, we advise you to have a look at the list of mandatory documents that are important to carry for the CAT 2025 exam. Consider keeping two copies of the CAT admit card 2025 and other documents. Check out the detailed list of all the documents and things that every candidate must carry with them. Few documents are exceptional.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>CAT 2025 Admit Card:<\/strong> Your admit card is a crucial document to appear for the CAT exam 2025. If you have downloaded the admit card from the official website, check that the details are correct. Verify your roll number, full name and additional information.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A Government ID Proof:<\/strong> Acceptable ID proofs at the CAT exam centre are Aadhar Card, Pan Card, Driving License, Passport, Voter ID, Employee ID, Driving License, College ID and UID. Make sure that the details on your ID proof are correct and match your CAT admit card.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Passport-Size Photograph:<\/strong> Carry 2 copies of your passport-size photograph. The passport-size photograph must match your CAT admit card. A passport-size photograph is necessary to paste in the attendance sheet.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>PwD Certificate (If Applicable):&nbsp; <\/strong>If you\u2019re suffering from any kind of physical disability, then a PwD certificate is the most important document to carry on the exam day. This document will act as supporting evidence for your disability claim.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Scribe Request Letter (If&nbsp; Applicable): <\/strong>Another important document for the PwD candidates. Submitting a \u201cScribe Affidavit\u201d (on the prescribed form by IIMCAT) is compulsory if a PwD candidate is using scribe assistance to write their exam.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Name Change Document (If Applicable): <\/strong>Remember to carry your name change document with you if you have recently changed your name due to legal reasons, marriage or divorce. To support your name change, show a notarised copy of your marriage certificate or divorce decree.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Transparent Water Bottle: <\/strong>You can carry a transparent water bottle to the CAT 2025 test centre and also inside the examination hall. The water should be clearly visible and shouldn\u2019t contain any kind of illegal substances.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-items-can-i-not-carry-at-the-cat-2025-exam-centre-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Items_Can_I_Not_Carry_at_the_CAT_2025_Exam_Centre\"><\/span><strong>What Items Can I Not Carry at the CAT 2025 Exam Centre?&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All the male and female candidates will undergo frisking before entering the examination hall.
